q brand new programme to compete with Mr..
Gladstone's Nottingham platform. In some respects
il is revival of his hartford manifesto of last
autumn, but he adds local option with compensa-
tion and considerable advance on the Lord
Chancellors land law reforms to the extent Of
stoppiDg the entail to unborn heirs. These are
important declarations, but it is doubtful whether
the majority of Conservatives are prepared 10
accept them.
His vigorous protest against Mr.. Gadstone's
proposals for Dsestablishment are quite 10 the
taste of his party. lie went with Mr Ooscheh IN
declaring that the next session is not TO DO
exclusively Irish. The Conservatives are clearly
settling themselves TO this idea. 1t is unders'oou
that they will certainly make reform in pro-

the present Parliament should not be prolonged

Gladstone will have to wait considerable time

Churchill has taken to avoid treading in

The bulk of the party prefer TO see him one of
their irreguars. a sort of bash-bazouk, whose
vagaries can be dsavOwed when convenient.
Lord Rosebery's Castle Douglas speech was
clever and interesting. as most of his speeches,
but his declaration that Ulster must not have
separate treatment meets with much criticism.
His grounds for this contention will not bear
much examination, and as he never got beyond
this point the speech answer TO Mr.. Cham
bcrain. was not what one might have expected
from so capable an orator.
Although the action of the Government in
In land is obtaining great deal of criticism, even
from friends, there is reason TO believe that it
will score q material advantage in the next few
days Mr.. O'Brien's APPEAL against the decision
Of the MitchclstOwn bench is coming TO a hearing
and il is fully believed that next week will find
him prisoner under the Grimes act. Anybody
who has watched closely recent events in Ireland
must have prrCc we'd that the removal Of Mr..
U'Bricn Will be a serious loss 10 the Naonaiists.
The Government also are about to take steps 10
test the decision Of Justice O'DOncl in Mr.. Sulli-
vans case. Here they are felt 10 be on weak
ground and it is generally believed that The
vitality Of the press Clauses is already suspended.
II is, however. understood that they conte enpate

The Government are now taking steps TO PIE
vent any reIetiton tomorrow of Mr.. o Brien'e
tactics at Woodford early last Sunday. To morrow
will he busy day with the authorities, who seem
determined 10 prevent any attempt openly to hout
their procamations. and thereby bring the Gov
ernment into further rdcule. 1t is doubtful
whether they will succeed. since last week n

from the scene Of illegal action.

lie the one man in the Government capable
Of controlling their Irish policy with firm hand
and at the same time earning the respect OF the
Parnellites As he is still member Of the Cabinet,
though without a portfolio, he will probably take
part in the next Cabinet Council, which will
deal largely with the state Of Ireland, and his
previous experiences as Chief Secretary for two
terms will put little much needed sagacity
into the Irish Administration.
1t seems TO be taken for granted that Mr.. Bal
four has a good chance Of succeeding the late
MT pfesiord Hope IN the representation OF tam- |
bridge University, OF which he is distinguished |
graduate. There has lcen talk OF Lord harrington

which threaten him at ROssendale The noble |
Marquis is also Cambridge man like his father |
who took the best degree ever won in the Uni |

would seem an ideal representative. but is not |
willing TO run away from his enemies in the |

going TO stand again for Bury, he will have
another fight for his old seat. Lord Iiartineton's
